itch.io

The player character gives me huge Heart of Darkness vibes. I approve.

Found the root of the issue, you can check my other comment for it.

I had this problem too and dug a little into things. Had to load the game in firefox so I could use the development console.

The issue is that gamefont.css tries to load 8bitoperatorplus-regular.ttf, while the file is named 8bitOperatorPlus-Regular.ttf. Linux distinguishes filenames with diferent capitalization.

My solution was making a system link because I don't like changing game data, but you can just rename the file safely.

I tried to execute this directly with love, but got the following error:

Error: game.lua:265: attempt to call field 'getStats' (a nil value)
